T & R Concrete LLC

To begin, every poor review is absolutely the truth, take heed. I just wish they were on this site before I hired him. We hired Mark Brownlee's team of T&R Concrete /Calhoun GA to replace a large concrete patio, but it turned into a costly nightmare. What was supposed to be a 3-day job took over 30 days, leaving us with rubble and unfinished work just before a major family event. We ended up paying over $15,000—far beyond the original $11,040 estimate—for services that were either incomplete or never delivered, including concrete pumping, grading, and stamping. During demolition, they damaged three structural posts supporting our deck. They rented a Bobcat too large to fit between the posts, a basic measurement error, and although they eventually fixed it using our materials, this mistake caused serious stress and damage to our home. Mark couldn’t provide a breakdown of labor costs and went silent when I said I would share a log that I kept showing the crew's limited attendance. Many expenses, like equipment rental, stamps, prepaid concrete and concrete truck rental, were charged but never fulfilled, and an unpaid vendor even placed a lien on our home. We paid for dumpsters directly but were supposed to be reimbursed as they were part of the original contract. For some reason they either didn’t have the credit or the money to pay and the Dumpster Companies would not leave them at the jobsite without payment. T&R said they would reimburse us the $1586. We can add that to the thousands we should have been returned for them not completing the job, no concrete was paid for by T&R, yet we got charged, no concrete pump truck, yet we got charged! Despite claiming a “5th generation family business,” his company is only registered under his wife's name as of December 2023. Mark repeatedly missed workdays, diverted funds to other projects, and requested unscheduled payments, which we made out of trust but came to regret. If the August reviews had been available earlier, we would never have hired him. Future customers should beware he mentioned plans to change their company name and possibly shut down temporarily. I strongly recommend checking reviews thoroughly before hiring this contractor, and I hope Angie’s List will take action to remove him. Check a number of business sites, even vendors /equipment rental places have posted that they don't pay. For those who wish to contact us directly, please call 404-803-9913.

The concrete slab was a poorly done job that needs repairing. There is a lot of concrete splatter all over the siding of my home that needs to be removed. The concrete wall still needs small rocks placed behind it not just for support but also drainage

TLDR - Don't pay them in full until the job is completely done, or they may never finish it like they never finished mine. Maybe only use them for small jobs and not a large one like a driveway. For mine, I had them pour a driveway and a sidewalk. The sidewalk had a crack 2 days after the pour and another crack at the bottom of the driveway a few days later. It is graded wrong and water drains into the garage. It is pitted and uneven to the point my truck rocks back and forth going down it. There is a scar where the two pours meet, and They never cut joints in it. Last time they worked on it was July 3rd. They kept saying they would come out and fix it, but then never show up. Another company says it can only be fixed by demo and repour. I have asked for a full refund because of the needed demo and repour, but they have not responded to me since they said they would be out Aug 12th at 7am sharp and never showed up. I didn't trust the 1 star reviews and got burned for alot of money.

Workers were knowledgeable about codes and requirement for my remodeling project. The owners went up and beyond to bring my remodel vision to reality. I would definitely recommend this company and their staff. And will use them again.

Everything started off great. Great communication and started on the job right away with a half down payment. The work was sloppy. I pointed out a few errors vs them looking at their own work and correcting the mistakes. Was told they would send someone out after the final payment was made. I paid the next day. Someone came out and fixed the few errors I pointed out and removed my original paint from my door. Then was told someone would be out May 24 to fix it. That day came then was given another date. It's June 5th and no one has come to repaint my door. Hire another company to do your projects. Pay more and get a real professional. The pictures are a few of the errors that were not corrected.

Everything was great from the initial consult, to the very quick responses, the invoicing and the team was very professional. Mark and his team ensured that first I can trust them to do the job and a great job they did! I am very pleased with the outcome of this project and I highly recommend them. I'll be rehiring them if I have another project.

Great! They formed it up, poured concrete- smooth

He and his crew were very efficient and responsive. The fourth process started and flexible on my end and his end to get the job done in a very timely manner. It looks great.

If I could give this company a zero, I would. They are liars and thieves. They contacted me from angis list to put a bid in to pour a concrete pad. They came and said they would charge $4000 to prepare the area with gravel, pour the concrete and give it a smooth finish. They said they required 1/3 up front so I paid them $1,333. They told us they would come do it on tues the next week. When tues came, they said they had lost a day on another job due to rain so it would be wed. On thurs, they came out for about an hr and laid a couple of boards. We wound up having to buy the rocks ourselves, which they said was included. I called and told them we were needing it finished before sunday because we were doing pictures in our daughters memory garden on Easter, which was right behind the area. He told me it would be done on friday. I called them on friday around 3 pm because they had not showed up. He then claimed the concrete company cancelled on them so they couldn't come back until monday. I told them that would not work for us and asked them to just refund the payment we had made. They agreed to do so but when I called them to see if they were going to mail it or bring it by, they then claimed they had already paid the concrete company and would have to wait until they refunded it. I contacted all the local companies and they informed me that tgey collect payment on delivery, which means tgey lied again. We have now contacted a new company and they came out and had everything done in 1 day. They did not charge us a dime until the work was complete. Do not use this company, they will take your momey and not do tue job when they tell you!

Mr Brownlee took Very good care of our property and the project. He was young which me and my husband admitted made us nervous but he exceeded our expectations. Mr Brownlee was always on time and professional and his business partner Jessie was an added plus those two should have a corporate office. We had a great experience with them.

Excellent work, very professional. Would hire again

Mr Brownlee took his time on our project. He was patient, and professional and we knew exactly what to expect up from. very nice young man and his work was great

This young man M. Brownlee is a thief. I paid him to do my driveway in the home I have lived in for 43 years. M. Brownlee offered me the lowest quote and convinced me that the contractor I originally selected was a scam, and that I should select him. Oh how do I regret that decision, M. Brownlee was paid the amount we agreed on and in full, however he did not complete the work, destroyed my deck, left a pile of rubble in my yard, not to mention the horrible work that he did complete. There are foot prints all through the work M. Brownlee did, it rained and M. Brownlee failed to cover the work he had just done. M. Brownlee and his crew were observed drinking alcohol while working and even left a can, and several tops in my front yard. In the pictures you can see the horrible work that M/ Brownlee started, showing that he had no intentions of complete this job or even doing a halfway decent job. M. Brownlee removed my walkway and just left a strip of dirt. M. Brownlee came across as a God fearing young black man, he turned out to be very unprofessional, a thief and a liar. Be warned T & R Concrete of Calhoun Ga and M. Brownlee are crooks. If you need an excellent experience and awesome work try A+Driveway Replacement. They finished my driveway and walk way. Do not use T & R Concrete.

It went great! Great people to work with. I’m very satisfied with the work they did. Will definitely call them again for my next house project.

Great! I had a walkway to my backyard poured and repaired they did a great job! Their crew was on time and worked quickly with a solid price ! I would recommend them to my family and friends and would work with them again if I needed anything else ! Thank you T&R concrete !
